Chapter 604: Love Yourself First

pt him around."I wanted to avoid complications. As I'm not the original person, I can't reciprocate his feelings. I tried to steer him away from this pitfall, but he still chose the most difficult pat...The ripples left with a carefree air, and the day after she returned home, her period arrived, proving that she was not pregnant. For half a month during her menstrual delay, she had been on edge and had even made preparations for raising a child.

To her surprise, she took the medicine in time, avoiding the biggest harm that could have befallen her original body. At least now she didn't have to worry about dying.

After Mu Lian Sheng returned, the two had another long conversation. Lian Yi did not hide her experience and truthfully told the original body's younger brother that she would not let the Zhang family have another chance to slander the original body and allow the people closest to the original body to remain in the dark, heartbroken and depressed.

Mu Lian Sheng was furious. He grabbed Lian Yi's arm, his voice rising two octaves:

"What does it mean that someone surnamed Zhang is interested in you They just want to have some fun without taking responsibility! Sister, what will you do next People in the village are conservative. It will be difficult for you to find a partner later on."

“I also want to thank him for the lesson he taught me, which made me realize that people are unpredictable. At least I managed to minimize my losses. He gave me some money to get rid of me, and with this money, I can live the life I want. I'm planning to start my own business.”

Liàn yī patted Mù Lián Shèng's shoulder and said.

"Sister, I support whatever you want to do! After you came back from the big city, many people in the village are waiting to see your jokes. They say that you couldn't make it in the big city and that's why you came back. Some even say that you were abandoned by a man. Anyway, you have to live your life well and shut those who laugh at you up."

Mu Lian Sheng angrily said.

Upon hearing this, Lian Yi's eyes darkened. The original her had died, and the villagers wouldn't let her go. They used her to hurt the original her's parents and younger brother.

Now that she has returned safely, these people have started to maliciously speculate. It seems like she's going to change her plans, this village is not worthy of her help.

"Li Sheng, people's mouths are on their own faces, they can say whatever they want, it doesn't concern me. I won't lose a piece of flesh because of their malicious attitude. Because of this, I decided not to start a business in the village anymore. I'll go somewhere else. Recently your school is also on summer vacation, take me around the nearby area, so I can investigate the surrounding environment!"

"No problem, sis! I got your back! Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"

Mu Lian Sheng also had a smile on his face. If his sister wasn't around, and he didn't have to worry about his parents, he would have left this poor mountain village long ago to go out and make his fortune.

Although every household here has enough to eat, warm clothes, television, telephones, and internet access, these people still hold old-fashioned ideas and look down on girls being stronger than boys.

When my older sister was accepted into university, our parents borrowed money from everywhere to make up the tuition. However, those people only offered empty words, saying things like "Why does a girl need to study so much She won't be able to marry well anyway. It's better to save the money and use it for my son to marry a good wife."

In the end, it was still his father who went to town and found colleagues from his education system to gather enough money for the tuition. His elder sister also proved herself capable; she did not return to the village during her first summer vacation but stayed in the city to work, repaying the borrowed tuition that year.

When she reached her sophomore year, all tuition and living expenses were earned by her elder sister working part-time. Because of this, her elder sister only came back home for a short few days during the New Year each year. She would leave in a hurry after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

Just like that, there were still people gossiping in private that the elder sister didn't know what kind of work she had found to earn so much money. They speculated that she must have done something shady. Because of this, he fought with the son of a gossip who spread rumors, even bringing it before the village head before they finally stopped.

After her older sister came back home for the Lunar New Year, she contacted the school and explained the situation. She asked the school to send each semester's report cards back to the village committee. She also chose to work-study at school, getting a certificate from the village that cleared up all the rumors.

After returning, she still asserted herself in front of all the villagers, saying that whoever spread rumors about her again would have her report them to the town and sue them for defamation for damaging her reputation.

At worst, she could take her family and leave the village. But those who slander her have criminal records in their families. Their children won't be able to join the army or take civil service exams. Let's see who pays a bigger price in the end.

Mu Lian Sheng still remembers the scene vividly. His elder sister, wearing a prestigious university uniform, stood in the village threshing ground, facing those gossiping aunts who had been caught red-handed.

"You yourselves are women, and have daughters and granddaughters. How would you feel if they were spoken to like this Don't think I'm here to scare you, and don't think that a few idle words are harmless. Go ask your well-educated sons and grandsons, see if having a criminal record will drag them down."

"My university has a law school, I'll have a lawyer sue all of you for talking behind my back. I can definitely make that happen! This is my final warning to you, next time we'll see each other at the police station. If you don't leave me alone, I won't let you have a good day either."

Because my sister caught those people's wrongdoing and recorded it, and the village head also came forward to testify that she was working at school to earn tuition fees, those people were afraid of implicating their younger generations, so they haven't dared to say anything bad about them since then. They just keep their distance from her family.

Parents don't care at all. No matter how distant these villagers are from them, the children still have to go to school and remain polite to them.

In addition, with her sister's capabilities, the family expanded their house by adding a second floor the year after she started working. From then on, those gossiping people dared not speak ill of them again and even tried to befriend the sister and her family, hoping that the successful sister in the big city could help their younger generations. They were truly opportunistic, so most of his good friends weren't from Liangshan Village but from nearby villages instead.

The ripples show that this younger brother truly admires his older sister and harbors no jealousy. He simply wants her to be happy. It is precisely because of this that, in the past life, when the original owner died outside and had such a tarnished reputation, he was unable to accept it and directly left Liangshan Village with his parents.

"Don't worry, sister will become the envy of everyone. Then you can hang out with me."

Ripple smiled and said.

Okay, I listen to my sister.

"It just so happens that during the summer vacation, you could go to town and take your driver's license test, the A kind. I'll cover the expenses for you."

"Sis, do you have a plan already"

Let me know if you need anything else translated!

"Well, I have a preliminary idea. It just so happens that you're getting your driver's license back and it would be very useful. You haven't been eyeing my Jeep Wouldn't you like to try driving it yourself"

The ripples immediately cast out the bait.

"Sister, you keep your word. Once I get my driver's license, you have to let me drive."

Mu Lian Sheng rubbed his hands and said.

"When have I ever broken my promise Having you as a free driver makes me happy!"

Ripples smiled and said.

The ripples returned to her family's side, living a relaxed and carefree life. With savings as a cushion, she was ready to investigate projects first and begin implementation after the New Year.

Zhang Yongcheng's side wasn't so smooth. As the wedding preparations began, he was commanded around by Feng Sisi like a puppet, exhausted to the bone. He finally made it through the wedding, but on their wedding night, something went wrong.ers heard in Wangshan Town. Although their family had some stored grain, they would also go to town with the villagers to grab some food. Everyone was scrambling for food, and if you were lying at hom...
